The Least

What a morning! Fall has arrived in our town! Leaves are turning their amber colors, mornings are crisp and cool, God is in control! 

We got our week started off with our Saturday activities happening! Basketball, visits, gardening, straightening, cleaning, eating was all going on. Our friends living outside are enjoying a break from the hot and humid days. Their spirits are also being lifted up! We visited our long time friend Smokey. As usual, he had been to the grocery store, bought fried chicken, potato salad, cooked a couple of pies for us to enjoy! Humbled beyond words,  how this man of God displays his affection for us.

With the children out of school for a couple of days, we only met with them on Wednesday. Great to see all our tutors sitting with their students, learning, laughing and enjoying each other's company. There is more to just educating going on!

Tuesday evening the men of the community gathered, talking about the least of them. Society sees them as misfits, God sees them as saints!

Wednesday evening, Lisa held a Board meeting. So much going on in and around our community. A lot of exciting times ahead for us all.

Thursday evening, our long time friend, Wes shared his gifts of playing the piano and Brother George shared his gifts of sharing the Word. Z whipped up another feast, the Market and clothing room was busy all night as a large crowd enjoy it all.

A special blessing to all our veterans this day. I remember pushing my father-in-law through the various airports on family trips. He would always wear his Marine baseball cap. Strangers would come up to us, shaking his hands and thanking him for his service. It blessed him and us. In honor of him, since he is no longer with us, please do that today. If you see a veteran today, let them know how much we appreciate all they have done to preserve our freedoms.

Prayers for Momma T as she travels to Starkville, Mississippi. Not sure I have ever heard of anyone traveling to Starkville! Must be a reason for her journey!? Prayers for all the new leaders of our government. Praise report for Ginellen. She has passed her final test with flying colors! No fistula! We meet with the doctors on Monday to decide when her final procedure will be to put her back together again. It will be 3 years Thanksgiving week. A long, long road, but we are finally coming to a conclusion, praise God!

Next Thursday will be our annual Thanksgiving feast. We have several groups providing our meal. We will need all the help we can get to serve and clean up. Please join us if you can. Also, as usual, we will be having a meal Thanksgiving day starting at 5:30.

Heard a sermon the other day talking about Matthew 25, the least of them. One of my favorite verses. It has always been a cornerstone of Common Ground. When someone would come to us about an idea, we would ask, does it feed, clothe, quench, visit, invite. If it didn't we would rethink the idea. The least of them is important to God, not so much in society. 

Have you ever been hungry and someone offered you something to eat? What about a drink of water when you were hot and tired? When I got cold at a soccer game, I borrowed a blanket from someone who had two! For the past three years during my wife's ordeal, we have been visited by many of you at the hospital or at our home. We are all the least in God's eyes!

God lvoes the least because He can do the most with them. After hearing the sermon, I thought came to me about Moses and King David. We all know how important they are to our faith and to God, but they did not start out that way! The men of the community read from Exodus 3, about Moses tending sheep, minding his own business, out in the wilderness, and God sends an angel to a burning bush. Moses sees the miracle and hears God say to him in verse 10, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people out . . . We then go to 1 Samuel 16, God is looking for a new king. Many brothers were paraded out in front but they were not right. David out in the fields, tending the sheep is summoned to come to the house, in the last part of verse 12 . .  then the Lord said, "Rise and anoint him; this is the one." In verse 7, the Lord says to Samuel, "do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

We are the least! God uses the least for Kingdom building. God sees our hearts, not what we look like. God used the shepherds to tell the world, His son was born, He will use you to make our world whole again. Open up your hearts to His Holy Spirit. Allow His majesty to fill your soul with lvoe. Our community needs you to let go and let God in your life. Amazing things will happen if we do! Amen!

Have a great week. See you Thursday night. God is in control, let it also be in our lives!

Predestined

Good morning to all! Hope your week was full of blessings and joy!

Last Saturday, we started off the morning by hosting a talk in the chapel given by Dr. Julie Dodge. She was being sponsored by First Methodist Church talking about social justice and the realities of poverty. We visited our friends living outside. One of our friends, now living inside, made the comment, I don't need a water jug, I now have water that comes out of the wall! Wow, things we take for granted! Another stop reminded me of how blessed some of us are. We found our friends, sitting on cardboard boxes underneath a tree with their dog trying to get out of the heat. Sad, sad! To my amazement, their dispositions were great, excited to see us!  We are very blessed!

Monday was a "spooky" afternoon filled with fun and games! Many of our tutors and children dressed up in costumes, competing for prizes and treats! We had a dance off! Sorry to say Joey did not make the finals! Mother may I was a hit, with Lisa! Chuck confused the kids as he called out green light, red light! Not sure who had the most fun, the kids or the tutors!

Tuesday evening, the men of the community gathered for Bible fellowship. Brother George led the discussions from Ephesians.

Thursday got started off with a huge rummage sale in the green area. Didn't realize we had so much stuff in the two story! Everything was 25 cents at the beginning until darkness set in, then it was all you can take! We made room for our Christmas Market items beginning to come in. Chapel was led by a new friend of ours and of course the playing of the piano and singing of Ms Abbie. Z's supper was the best. The Market was busy. We had lots of help from the students from several Centenary sport teams. A great evening.

Congratulations to all our Chicago Cub fans!

Don't forget to move back your clocks Sunday morning.

Prayers for Hat and Karl. Hat is home with a broken leg. Prayers for Michele Sauls and her family as they deal with the health of her mom. 

How many times have we heard, God has a plan for your life. Yea right, if he does, what is it, some of us would say. God's timing is perfect, wait on it, I have been told. My lack of patience prevents me from doing that! God will make a way for us, if we just believe and have faith. Sounds good, but is it really true?

Last weekend I was looking through some old pictures and videos of the past of Common Ground. There are pictures of before there was a Common Ground! We often think things are going so slowly in our hopes and dreams for the future of our community. But looking at the reminders of the past, you think, wow, we have come a long ways in a short amount of time. Maybe there is something to this idea of God's timing and waiting on Him?!

As I was watching a video of one of our first Christmas parties, taken in 2005, I saw a face in the crowd that startled me. I continued to watch the video, but I kept thinking about that face and wondering, did I really see that person? I finished watching the video and then replayed it, stopping at the moment of this amazing capture. Yes, there it was, a face I knew now, but not 11 years ago.

I began to wonder, I don't know her story? Why didn't she say something to me, when I met her for the first time, that she had been to Common Ground before? My mind started to ask questions of all sorts of things.

So I brought the video to the office Monday for Joey to see if he recognized our friend, he did immediately! Chuck walks in, he watches the video, he immediately agrees! We were all amazed at what we are seeing! We ask each other, did you know, have you heard, what do you think??? It was agreed, when our "old" friend gets to the center we will ask her the 30 questions we have about her past! Not too long after that, she arrives and we escort her into the office to show her the video. She was not sure what was going on, walking into the office with some concern for her safety!  Then Joey plays the video!

About midway through the video showing people sitting at the tables, enjoying the Christmas meal having a good time, she blurts out, there's my mother, my aunt, my cousin, look there's my oldest son, oh know there I am! With a huge smile on her face, she sees herself and her family helping us serve our Christmas meal! I look at her, a smile indescribable, tears in her eyes, words can not express the expression of amazement!

Tuesday evening, the men of the community read in Ephesians 1: 5 . . . he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. . . then in 11: In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will . . . Folks, I don't know if you believe about all of this predestined theories or not, but as of last Monday, I am a believer!

Oh yea, I forgot to say, our "old" friend is Z Washington! She had just moved back to Shreveport. She came with her Aunt to help us out that night. She was so amazed at the video, she took a picture of her family and called her Aunt to ask about that night, she doesn't remember! Her Aunt even told her, her son got a present from Common Ground, something that was on his Christmas list!

Several months ago, Z had the opportunity to accept a new job. The pay was good with benefits, but she chose to stay with us, saying she felt she was in the place God wanted her to be. Well she was right! God was preparing her a place, 11 years ago, a place where she could do God's work and bless us all by her presence! 

You have a place in God's Kingdom. He has prepared a way for you. If you don't know what your place is and where it is, you need to ask Him! He will bless you beyond your imagination! Ask Z her story, she will gladly share how God prepared a way for her to us! Amen

Have a great week. God is good! All the time, these past 11 years and more to come!

  

Bold faith!

Still on a sweets high from all the candy, sweet treats,  delicious baked goodies from last nights Fall Fest!  What a night! 

Last Saturday, many of our friends living outside were no where to be found? We do need to lift up Robert and Jerry as they begin testing, procedures and rehab for the different ailments affecting them. They have been through a lot. A nice breakfast was prepared by Z as many of our community came together to help in our clothing room.

Our afternoon tutoring fun is going on. We can always use your help with the children. Allison has the routine down with the children and teachers, so a lot is accomplished in a short span of time. Come and enjoy the excitement. Monday will be a special afternoon.

Walked into to the kitchen Monday and there was Z cooking! Not sure I have ever seen so many boxes of cakes, pies and cookies! Tuesday I walked in and she was still there with help from her Aunt, Wednesday was no exception! Unfortunately I might have put on a few pounds this week sampling some of her goods! It was hard work, but somebody had to do it! Next time you see Z around the center, please tell her how much we appreciated all her hard work!

,

Thursday was spectacular! With a gorgeous blue sky, nice temperatures, a cooling breeze, we had our annual Fall Fest! Tables and chairs were set up in the green area. New games from a Scout Eagle project were lined up, the cake walk chairs were arranged, music, break dancing, grilling, face painting, what a night! A huge crowd showed up to enjoy it all. Thanks to everybody for making the evening such a success.

Next Thursday, we will have a garage sale from the 2 Story. Tables will be set up outside and the 2 story will be cleaned out to prepare for our Christmas market items.. Everything will be priced at 25 cents. Please come and help or bring lots of quarters!

The men of the community met Tuesday evening to read the story of Daniel in the den of lions, reading from Chapter 6 in the book of Daniel. A group of men, jealous of Daniel, went to the King to get him to set up a decree, saying if anyone who prays to any god other than the King will be put into the lion's den. When Daniel heard about this decree, he went home and 3 times each day prayed, verse 10. These jealous men, found Daniel praying and brought Daniel before the King. The King could not back down, so he ordered Daniel into to the lion's den. Daniel was sparred from the lions by an angel sent by God to close the lion's mouths.

Daniel knew the new decree was unlawful. The decree went against his beliefs, but Daniel was bold enough in his faith to continue to be obedient to God and prayed for help. Can we say the same for our faith?

Over the years, we have been told, it is a waste to buy property in our community. Why would you spend money in an impoverished area, when you could buy a house in a wealthy neighborhood? We have heard people say, don't spend your time with the children of our community, they can't learn. Others saying, the poor will always be with you, so why waste your time on them?

It seems in the building God's Kingdom, you are forced to buck the system of society. Society is interested in the rich, God is concerned for the least. We will face opposition at every turn, but we have to have the faith of Daniel and remember, our God, like Daniel's is in charge. As long as we continue to pray for guidance and direction in the path God wants us to take, then when we are put in the lion's den of life, our God, the same one as Daniel's, will send an angel to take care of us! God has taken care of us and our community in the past, He will continue to do so in the future!  Amen!

Have a great weekend. Get out and enjoy the fall weather, remembering who is in charge! 

The 12

Everybody have your jackets on today!? Wow, God thought we needed to be cooler, so he has done just that! What a God! Hopefully you are getting a chance to use your jackets this morning in your part of the world!

We had our grandchildren with us this past weekend, so didn't make our Saturday activities. Scott and Dawn visited our friends living outside. Visited some new camps occupied by old friends. Everybody seems to be doing well. Prayers for Robert and Jerry. Robert is preparing to go into the hospital. Jerry was taken to the hospital Thursday night because he was having a hard time breathing. 

Monday and Wednesdays continue to be one of our highlights of the week. Seeing the children, singing their prayer, enjoying their snacks, learning new Bible verses, reading their assignments is a blessing. Thanks to all who are helping our children succeed in life each week, you are a blessing.

Tuesday evening, Rickie led our community men's Bible study reading from Luke 9. A small group but a lively group sharing what God has placed on their hearts to live a life of light.

Thursday, Ms Abbie led us in song and praise, Brother George introduced us to a friend of his to share the Word of God. Lots of hand clapping and Amens were happening! Z prepared our meal, as friends from one of our elementary schools helped serve and clean up. Others from the school helped us in the Market and in the clothing room. A fun night!

Don't forget this Saturday will be a work morning in the clothing room. Z will prepare breakfast, starting at 9, then the work will begin following that. The community is coming, we need you too!

Praise report on Ginellen's procedure last week. All good, the doctor could not find the fistula he has been treating for the past 3 years. He is going to do one more exam through the radiology department and then begin to talk about completing her treatment with him! Praise God!

We have some angels helping us in our mowing and edging of our campus. If you see them, please stop and let them know how much we appreciate all their hard work.

Next Thursday is our Fall Fest. We had an Eagle scout make us some new games for the evening. The famous cake walk will be going on. Food and fun all over the center. Come and enjoy the evening.

Reading Luke 9 this week was another reminder, who is in charge of our lives! The first verse, Jesus called the 12 together. Jesus calls you. Nothing is different today, He is calling are we listening? Another thought, he called all 12, not just one or two. He calls all of us, no one has the inside track. We all are important in God's Kingdom.

When Jesus calls us, He prepares us, He provides for us, He cares for us. When Jesus called the 12, He gave them power and authority to drive out demons and to cure diseases. He does the same today. He calls us and then provides his Holy Spirit that is in each one of us, the power to combat anything that we will face. Do we allow it to happen or do we like to be in charge?

The chosen 12, were given tasks that they were not trained to do. Some were fishermen, one was a tax collector, simple men, called to do extraordinary things. The same can be said of you. God is calling you to our community, to do things that you thought were impossible, something you would have never dream of doing, are you ready to follow our Lord?

Then Jesus said to the 12, don't take anything with you, no staff, no bag, no bread, no money, no extra shirt. You don't need it, I will take care of you. Jesus is saying that to us today. If you follow me, allow me to lead. I will provide everything you will need in this journey.  Do we dare believe that?

Then in verse 5, Jesus tells the 12, some will not like what you are doing or saying. Don't worry about that, just stay focused on what you have been called to do and move on. It is their loss not yours. 

As we prepare to move forward along the journey God has for us, we need to constantly be listening. We need to understand, God is in control, not us. If we take control, it will fail. We need to have faith and be obedient to the path He has chosen for us, knowing we will not have all the answers to our questions. We don't need the answers because God will provide everything when we need. Is it scary, you betcha! A fisherman being asked to heal the sick, don't you think they were scared? But Jesus equipped them, just like He has equipped each one of you.

The 12 went out and went to village to village, proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere. We need to do the same. We need to go out, share the good news and heal our community. It can be done, it will be done, we might as well be the ones doing it, let's go! Amen!

See you Saturday or next week. For those who are in other parts of the country and not able to join us, please keep our community in your prayers. God is good!

Don't be afraid!

God was painting this morning! The clouds were dark until the rising sun casts it's glow on them, turning the dark into light with colors of orange, pink and blue all over the horizon! Wow, what a painter!

Lots going on in our community. Prayers for Joey and Jerry as they have moved back into their camp. Hard to transition into a place where noise and craziness is prevelant. Hopefully a place will open up soon for them. 

Monday and Wednesdays continue to be a joy. I need to record our afternoon blessing with the children. Watch for it on Facebook! What a treat.

Tuesday evening, the men of the community gathered to talk about God's unfailing grace. Rickie led the men reading from Ezekiel. A prophet of God, telling the people about God's lvoe.

Thursday was a special evening of song, praise, eating, serving and laughing! A friend of George's shared the Word, as Ms Abbie played the piano. Z prepared a banquet as new friends from LSUS and St Pauls helped serve and clean up. Pastor Kaylan had the clothing room open. Ms Dorothy was being reminded, she had 30 seconds to finish her shopping spree before it was time for others to come in! The Market was busy as usual. A good evening.

This Saturday, Z will be hosting a informational meeting for the community. Next Thursday, we will have our first Green Market. We will have local vegetables available for the community to purchase. Other activities are happening in the next few weeks. God is busy in our part of the world!

Prayers for all who have been and will be affected by the storm on the East coast and our friends in Haiti.

Two things struck me about God this week, God never gives up on us. In Ezekiel, God asks him to go speak to His people. As it says in verse 3, . . . they and their ancestors that have rebelled against me. Ancestors, a long time, God's people had forgotten what He had done for them, rebelled against God, but still God lvoed them enough to show His grace. We do the same today! Over and over, God's grace saves us from ourselves. We thank Him and months or years later we fall back. At some point, we seek God's grace and there it is for us again! Amazing!

The other thought, is God is always with us. God tells Ezekiel to go to His people and speak My Words to them, whether they listen or not, go!  God warns Ezekiel, my people have become obstinate and stubborn. In verse 6, God says to Ezekiel, "And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them . .  In fact, God tells Ezekiel, do not be afraid two more times in verse 6.

Do not be afraid! Good words to remember because many times God will put us in places that are outside of our comfort zones. Verse 2,"As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me?." That same Spirit that spoke to Ezekiel, thousands of years ago, is still speaking to us all, we just have to allow God's Spirit to come into our souls and listen. We do not have to be afraid because God is with us.

I was reminded again, it is not about us but about God! God tells Ezekiel to go to His people and speak My Words to them, whether they listen or not, go! God warns Ezekiel, my people have become obstinate and stubborn. Our jobs, our commission is to go out, share the Word, whether they listen or not. Sometimes we will see change, other times we will not. I asked someone several years ago, why they stopped coming to our community meals. They said, they didn't see any change in the attitudes of the community. If we are in the business to see change, then we will become disillusioned, burn out and will quit. 

We should be responding to the call God has placed on our hearts to share His lvoe with others. It is not our jobs to change the hearts of others. That is what God will do! I was reminded, sharing God's lvoe takes many forms. Some are able to share His lvoe through speaking. Others play the piano. Some cook. We have saints who are there for the children. Servants who work in the garden, hang clothes, visit, listen. God will use you, as He needs you to build His Kingdom! Amen!

Have a great week. See you around the center. Do not be afraid!

Praise the Lord!

Brrrr! What great weather in our part of the world this morning! Cool, crisp breeze, God's Kingdom is a great place to be!

What a Saturday we had last week. Momma T and Bryce had been working and planning hard for a garden work day! It worked! God provided the help and we now have new planter beds ready for the fall planting season! Matt and Vicki had the basketball team. Friends of our basketball team brought a large group of boys, folks from our Thursday community, all combined to have a great morning. Pictures have been posted on Face Book. Food was prepared in the kitchen. Visits were made to our friends living outside. What a day!

Our Monday and Wednesday afternoon activities continue. Lots of helpers and lots of children come and enjoy their times together. You can walk through the center and find learning groups everywhere! Great to see.

Tuesday evening, one of our community men led the men's Bible fellowship. Greg led the study, talking about the miracles God has done in his life. We all talked about what God has done in our lives. What has He done in yours?

Thursday evening was a busy time in our community. Brother George shared the Word, Bryce shared the praise in chapel. Z cooked up a feast and our friends from the school board helped serve and clean up. The clothing room was busy as well as the Market. Lots of conversations were happening about skills and needs of the community. A busy, fun night.

In one of our Bible study groups, we talked about why we take God for granted? We know what He has done for us, what He can do for us, but still we put Him on the back burner of our lives, why? We can have pity parties, grumble at our love ones, be unpleasant to be around, knowing all we have to do is go to God to help us through our trials, but we hesitate, why? We are quick to go to God to ask for healing when our love one is sick. We turn to God when we need something. But when our routines of life are in control, we put God on the back burner, why?

Life is hard sometimes. Obstacles are put before us daily. Trials of the unknown present challenges, we would rather not deal with. It is important to be in the presence of God all the time, morning, noon and night. Especially in our community! If we don't have the lvoe of Jesus in us on Monday afternoon, when we are reading to our children, they will not have a chance to see the joy of Christ. If we don't let the Holy Spirit flow through us on Thursdays, when will our community see the light of Christ? In the garden, playing basketball, cooking a meal, visiting our outdoor friends, doing paperwork, stocking shelves, hanging clothes, cleaning the bathrooms, mowing the grass - we need God in our lives. Not sometimes, not when we need Him, but all the time! God's light will shine through us, even when we don't feel like it is shining. All we have to do is let go and allow God to come into our hearts, God will do the rest!

Our men's Bible study read Psalm 103 Monday night. In one of the Bibles, the author said for us to read this Psalm everyday, praising God for all He has done for us. Take a minute right now, get your Bible out, turn on your Bible app, Kindle, Ipad and read Psalm 103. As the author said, make Psalm 103 your prayer for the day. Praise the Lord, my soul, you are awesome. Thank you for all you do for us, even when we forget You. You are worthy of our praise! Amen!

Have a great week. Get outside and enjoy this gorgeous weather! God is good!

Thank You!

Happy Autumn to everybody! Hopefully the hot temperatures in your part of the world has gotten a little cooler! Lvoe this time of year, with the colors of God's canvas coming to full bloom!

Spending time with the grand children last weekend, so was not around for Saturday's activities. I just know the basketball team practiced and was fed, the camps and friends were visited, garden work continued, so much to do, so little time to get it all done! God is good!

We have settled into a rhythm with our afternoon activities. Our blessing is sung, snacks are eaten, games are played, then the learning begins. Great to see so many helpers with the children. Great relationships are being formed. Smiles all around!

Tuesday evening, Brother George shared the Word with the men of the community. We read from James 1, we didn't read very far, but shared a lot of what God is doing in our lives. Talked about patience, perseverance, endurance, faith, trials, temptations. We all face trials, we all have temptations, how do we handle them?

Thursday was a packed house of lvoe, joy and understanding. Our friends from St Luke's medical van visited with us. Brother Chester and Ms Abbie got us started off in chapel with music and God's Words. Z prepared a feast, while old and new friends helped us serve and clean up. The Market continued to be a busy place, while our clothing room helped our community find just the right clothes. A blessed night.

Karl asked for continued prayers for his daughter in New Hampshire suffering the loss of her husband and father of their two children. Prayers for peace and understanding for the tragic loss of life in our community and across the country.

This Saturday, Bryce is hosting a garden party! Come early, around 7am to begin working in the new garden creating flower beds. Then around 9:30 of so Z and Joey will be preparing breakfast for the community. Following the meal  work will be done around the center. Come and enjoy!

Don't let Satan fool you! Don't get discouraged! Don't think what you do doesn't matter! You are important to God and to our community!

Last Thursday, as I was leaving early from our meal, I noticed one of our community members beginning their walk home. They don't live around the corner, they leave almost 10 blocks away! I was talking to one of our community members in chapel last week, they said they live on 85th street and walk here every week, over 15 blocks! Community waiting for the bus on the corner to get home after arriving by bus earlier. Babies being pushed in strollers to the center. Family members being dropped off by others. You make a difference in the lives of our community whether you know it or not! God knows! Thank you for all you do in case you need to hear it from someone, Thank you.

Ginellen, my wife, has been struggling with health problems going on for almost 3 years. We had a doctor's appointment Monday and we did not hear what we wanted to hear. She is scheduled for another procedure on October 14th. The doctor is being very cautious, which is good, but also frustrating to us all as we continue to deal with this problem. As I was preparing the words for chapel Thursday, one of our community members come into chapel and said mr brian, your wife has been on my heart this week! They didn't know anything about what we had gone through at the doctor, they just knew we needed to pray. They wanted others to pray with us, so we held hands and each one of the community said a prayer for healing for Ginellen. We are important to our community!

Thursday evening, as we were finishing up our meal, a lady walks up to me, who I had not seen in several years. She came by because, this community represents a happy time in her life and the life of her family. There are pictures of her children in the collage of photos in the hallway, all having a great time with us. Her children are no longer with her, some are in jail, some are missing, some don't want anything to do with her, sad times. She wanted to come by and see us, to remember those times of joy and happiness when her children were young and innocent. We have been a part of our community lives, through the trials and through the triumphs.

Please know, you are making a difference. Many of you will never hear a thank you. We may never see a smile or get a hug. We might not hear a kind word or see good manners but you are all making a difference. Life is hard for our community, the darkness is bright, the light is dim. You are the light, maybe the only light they get to see in their daily lives. Some of us have been around for so long, we get to see how the community is affected by all of you. We see the moms coming back remembering the good times. We get to see our young children all grown up, some are struggling, some are prospering, but they come back to see you because you made a difference in their lives. You are making a difference. Thank You! Amen!

See you Saturday in the garden! God is so good!
